today I have made a bug ridden slow implementation of less than half of paredit.el. hoping to improve upon it tomorrow.
If your employer is really shitty to you
You can't say anything about it ever
If you do, that can prevent you from getting a new job
This is one reason why I hesitate to call it a job "market"
A market presupposes a certain information flow and an ability to reward or punish actors based on their performance
@researchfairy I hate capitalism so fucking much
Just in case you or anyone reading this missed @baldur 's excellent 2023 article on this very topic, here it is. 👇🏼

It's well worth a read!
this painting is probably meant to represent a funeral but I can only read it as the kid is having the worst birthday party ever, and his grampa really regrets hiring this musician.

I'm seeing basically nothing of #RedDressDay in my feed, which surprises me.
Women, girls, 2-Spirit and other infividuals from Indigenous nations still disappear or turn up murdered *far* more than any other group in Canada. Much remains to be done, and even knowing about the problem is low-bar Step One. #mmiwg #mmiwg2s

@FediTips true, true…
@tinker Ah, like a majority of my account anyway.
Not to worry I have very few followers, and don't interact with others to gain popularity.
Reply to any I have that you may want me to remove and I assure you they will *poof*
Waiting for the government announcement that shops can only sell false moustaches and make-up pencils to people 18 or over.
@neil I love the comments 😁 thanks for a good laugh! 😂
All those people saying “I was skeptical of AI, until I tried Claude and I was amazed that it could tell me this and this and this” sound just like
“I was skeptical of psychics, but then Madame Fortuna told me something only my dead wife would know!”
Human perception has certain well-documented flaws that confidence men prey upon, and you are not immune from these
WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for The New Yorker as bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education.

@jeffjarvis One of my college professors said something like "the point of college is to teach you how to be a thoughtful human, the facts you pick up in your classes are just a bonus" and completely changed my outlook on everything since.

Ich denke, als deutscher Sagen- und #Folklore -Forscher sollte ich mich intensiver mit der "völkischen" Ideologie und Mythenbildung von #AfD , #IdentitäreBewegung , und ähnlichen Faschisten beschäftigen.
Grundsätzlich sehe ich ein Problem, daß progressive Kräfte in #Deutschland sich damit schwer tun, ein positives Deutschlandbild zu entwickeln, weil dann immer die Befürchtung hochkommt, daß man in die Nähe des Nationalismus kommt.
Die Faschisten haben und hatten natürlich nie damit ein Problem, ihrer eigene "völkische" Vision von Deutschland zu entwickeln - und wenn eine Seite eine klare Vision hat und die andere nicht, dann wird sich die Seite mit einer klaren Vision durchsetzen.
Als progressiver Folkloreforscher möchte ich diesem entgegenzuwirken, und dabei helfen ein Deutschlandbild (von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart) zu entwickeln, mit dem man sich identifizieren kann ohne die Schattenseiten der deutschen Geschichte zu ignorieren oder völkische Fantasien zu übernehmen.
Aber bei so etwas würde es helfen, wenn ich einen besseren Überblick über die Mythologie dee Gegenseite habe - damit ich sie besser auseinander nehmen kann.
Kürzlich bin ich auf das (kostenlose) Buch "Germanenideologie" gestoßen, das in diese Richtung zu gehen scheint. Hat jemand hier noch eine weitere #Buchempfehlung ?

Ich halte es für sehr wichtig, sich mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen und Wege aufzuzeigen, die nicht in den Nationalismus/Faschismus führen.
Mein Lieblingszitat zu diesem Thema stammt aus einem Avengers-Film:
"Asgard is not a place. It never was. This could be Asgard. Asgard is where our people stand."
🗞️ Le racisme se banalise en France. Des propos autrefois condamnés sont désormais assumés, voire revendiqués. Le racisme n’est pas une opinion : c’est une atteinte à la dignité et aux droits. - Tribune signée par @NathalieTehio, présidente de la #LDH
I live! So here's a new #introduction to get me started again.
Hey, I'm Robin! I've been around these parts before but wanted a new handle so that's what I did!
I'm a trans enby who is also a qualified teacher and academic librarian. I'm a gothy witchy type who games and tries to write when the ol' brain cells allow.
I'm super open to all perspectives and life experiences, unless those attack, marginalise or harm others. So yeah! That's me in a nutshell!

Good morning. Dreamed I developed an unlikely friendship with Lady Gaga who borrowed my phone without asking and spent all my money on Candy Crush then tried to pay me back by giving me a Cartier watch. We met on set where Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie were filming an acrobatic toilet dance video. Gaga and I got chatting over the fact the stunt doubles were septuplets. Gaga and I's relationship was pretty platonic. I think she probably wants more but I'm committed to my family and frankly she's a menace. Hilarity and hi-jinks ensue.
@TheBreadmonkey Dancing acrobatically in the toilet? Dancing with acrobatic toilets? I have so many questions...
Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican.
After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges.
